I got a Pixel about a month ago but I miss these forums and my s5!!!
I'm wondering if someone can guide me to the location of where the alarm tones are store on the s5 so that I can pull some off and move them to my pixel. I have root access but can't seem to find them. I'm specifically looking for the "Chime" tone but I may pull some others also.
Thank you!!

I'm doing this from memory since I deleted all mine... they're in the system root, I think in /system/media/audio/alarms

I ended up finding them earlier and you're exactly right! Already have them uploaded and available as a zip download. Thanks!

Nope. Just plays a sound when it connects.

thanks KenKiller for the reply,
I have searched the free app market for such a software but could not find, do you know if it is available as a paid app?
ahhh I missss that auto-vibrate so much !!!!!
I loved it on my magic. no need to hold the phone on our ears until they pick up
i tried to search for it, but in the end found many more threads where people asked for this function to be removed from many other phones.
Guess it's hard to please the whole world.
Place the phone.apk from this thread onto your SD card and use APKInstaller to install it. It should overwrite your stock phone.apk and will provide you the feature set you desire.
However, I don't know if this has been attempted on a SGS before - so be ready to restore your stock ROM if it doesn't work...

Waiting for a brave soul to try this.
I'm pretty sure the Phone app that comes with SGS is quite unique. After installing launcherpro the default phone button wouldn't even work until I replaced it.

Thanks for your help, I will do it once i get my SGS
Is there any news about this issue ?
uhhhh, sounds fun, let me book mark this and try it when i have spare time to mess around with my phone
For some reason the setting for this is in Settings > Sound and Display, Vibrate for Incoming Calls which is by default unticked. I thought I saw another somewhere else, going to poke around a bit more.
Edit: Damn, can't find it. I swear I saw options for vibrating at the start and/or end and or during calls, maybe I'm getting confused with my Magic though?
I really miss that feature from my old phone. The nearest app I can find is this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-cn-cwd-callvibrate-BApt.aspx
Hi Guys
This is weird. My shiny new Note 3 is about three weeks old. It's working 99.9% perfectly except for a slight sound problem. The problem is that when it is connected to a charging dock it USED to play a tone. Now it just vibrates slightly (but still charges). I also noticed that my camera doesn't make a shutter sound when I take a photo. I wondered whether the two issues are related in some way?.
All other sounds seem to be working OK on the Note3 (so it's not a volume setting) and I have checked whether option for the dock 'making a sound' is switched on. Additionally, there doesn't appear to be an option in the camera settings to switch on/off the sound, so it can't be that.
OK none of this is a major problem, but it is a bit of a niggle!
I hate niggly things! .
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
You made any changes recently?
Hiya
Yes, gazillions of changes due to installing apps! Too numerous to narrow it down to a specific action

If you can't/won't narrow it down, how is anyone else supposed to?
Do you have these checked files in the screenshot?
Thank you. That looks like a useful screenshot - where do I go to check if the sound file is checked as in your screenshot? I guess thats your file manager isn't it? I'm using ES explorer and the phone isn't rooted. Do you happen to know which folder these sound files live? I did a file search and it couldn't find any of the files shown in your screenshot
Cheers

I use Root Explorer, those files are in system>media>audio >ui.
However, as far as I know you can't access the system folder unless you're rooted, so I think it's unlikely that you've deleted them.

Thanks again - at least I know i probably haven't deleted them. I don't suppose there's a way of 'force reinstalling' the stock camera app is there?

No idea, sorry. I rooted mine 20 minutes after its first boot, hence clueless really uprooted devices

OK case closed - I hard reset the phone, reinstalled all the original apps and the missing sounds are back. Sorted! Bit of a drastic measure though
Still don't know WHY the sound disappeared from just the docking process and the camera shutter, but it least it's all fine now
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
Changed my ringtone from the default on the S5, now I want to go back to the default ringtone but forgot what it was called... anyone?

listen to the ringtones until you find it?
*sigh* I just knew someone would say that *sigh*
(mock glares at elliwigy)
Tried that already can't figure out which ringtone was the default one, so I figured hey, what's the best place I could find out? Why not the forum for the device dedicated to the Verizon S5!
So come on peeps: before you changed your ringtone on your Verizon S5 what was the default ringtone called?
Bonus points for anyone that can also tell me where I put my external hard drive cable, I can't find it WITHOUT replying "Where did you last have/see it?" :silly:

It would be VZW Airwaves on a stock VZW S5. Check your junk drawer for the hard drive cable. If it's not there check the back of your computer..lol.
Thank you Misterxtc for the ringtone info! 100 points for Gryffndoor! Alas the cable still is missing so -50 points. It's OK though you're still beating Slytherin! :good:
lol glad you found it.. i personally remove the stock sounds from my rom and put a few smaller sized ringtones from L... i consider stock ringtones bloat lol
Hey I'm new to the forums and new to using Android. I've been trying to dig around to find a way to theme my phone by changing the system sounds and so far it seems like you need to root the phone. I've never really messed with that kind of stuff before and what I've read I can't since I'm on the AT&T network. Is there maybe an alternative way for me to change my system sounds or am I stuck with just changing the ringtone?

Hey mate. If your phone rooted, you can change everything(almost). Try to change system sounds with root explorer. You also can change shutdown animation's sound.

That's the thing is that every where I go everyone says you can't root an AT&T phone so that's why I'm looking for a possible alternative. I tried using an app called Explorer but I can't change anything to the UI folder because its read only.
Edit: phone as in the S6 Edge +
Seems like they haven't found a way around what AT&T did to provent the root process

Anybody figured out how to do this? I can add my own ringtones easy enough but don't see an easy way for my own notification sounds, I can't even find were the originals are stored!
just drop the notification sounds you want into /sdcard/Notifications. You can also drop custom alarm sounds into /sdcard/Alarms and ringtones into /sdcard/Ringtones.
Install zedge

Ok, haven't got my sdcard yet, its on order, will try that then.
But I have the sounds that I want on my phone, I just can't get them into the list of notification sounds listed
Even if you haven't gotten your microsd card, you'll still have an /sdcard folder. It's the root of your internal storage.
Used Zedge download onto my Macbook, took a Scan of the QR Image with my S7 E and downloaded the ringtones I wanted. Worked great on everything except Textra, which is the messaging app I use

Ok, well file/folder viewer supplied dosent show at that level, installed 3rd party one which did, but was unable to write to that directory
Ah, getting there…. Zedge gets new ones added to the internal list, so that's something

So what I just did as I was trying to figure this out. I added a song by opening up my files finding the song I'd already had on the phone. I clicked and held for 10 seconds a checked box appears you got song selected, then upper co rner I clicked more, clicked copy, and it opened a "Copy To screen" and three options I had device storage, sad card, notifications which I clicked then clicked done and song was there

How did you manage to move the files? I've run into the same problem as yourself, 3rd party file explorer couldn't write to the directory......
Same issue with s7. Created file. It's my files>sd card>ringtones. Still only tones phone came with. Under ringtones I have add from device storage as an option, but not for any others. Pls help.
Zedge worked for me, Awesome. Thanks.
